If the SCSI controller on the Quantum is not similar to Apple's
controller, Apple's HD formatter might not work at all, or
produce some unexpected disk problems.  For example, my
internal HD80 from Apple works with Apples' formatter, but
when I try the same formatter with my external 80 MEG 
Quantum from Jasmine, I experience various problems once
I boot up and try to use that disk (although the disk is "somewhat"
useable).
